Scope

The Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) FY2002Annual Report of the United States Intelligence Community provides insight into the activities and accomplishments of the Intelligence Community (IC). The mission of the Intelligence Community is to provide policymakers, military commanders, and law enforcement officials with timely, accurate intelligence on a wide range of national security issues. Within this context, sources and methods must be protected. Therefore, this report acknowledges only a small fraction of the total contribution made by the men and women of the Intelligence Community.

This report, which is unclassified, addresses accomplishments of the Intelligence Community measured against the national security missions. A Classified Annex to the Annual Report provides additional detail and is provided to the Congressional Intelligence, Appropriations, and Armed Services Committees.
